Parents (game)

[creeperman7002]

This is a simple game designed like the old sandbox games.
Players post the minimal parent (population or bounding box) of the last pattern.
This thread is CA-related and was not created with the intent of polluting the sandbox.

Start:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 7, rule = B3/S23
7o$7o$7o$7o$7o$7o$7o!

Here's my first try (population 27):

Code: Select all

x = 9, y = 9, rule = B3/S23
2bo2bo2bo$o2bo2bo$2bo2bo2bo$o2bo2bo$2bo2bo2bo$o2bo2bo$2bo2bo2bo$o2bo2bo$2bo2bo2bo!

Edit: I thought of a better idea. This parent has a population of sixteen:

Code: Select all

x = 7, y = 7, rule = B3/S23
2bo2bo2$ob2ob2o$2bo2bo2$ob2ob2o$2bo2bo!

Code: Select all

x = 8, y = 4, rule = B3/S23
8o3$8o!

EDIT: 16.

That's six by six, not seven by seven.



Edit: I just realized that my second parent has the same problem, which may have been the source of confusion.
